  1. There are enough suits on board…they are shorties…a great trick is to were 2 wet suits. We also wore skins underneath the suits it adds an extra layer of warmth and makes getting the suit on a lot easier. My wife did take her own suit a long one she is cold natured…it’s amazing

  2. Let me start by saying that the Flora trip in the Galapagos is an exceptional experience.

    The entire crew and I mean everyone is friendly, helpful, and will make every effort to make this a wonderful cruise. 
    The ceviche dishes are outstanding. All the fish dishes are perfect. Let me set the record straight that despite the bad reviews on the beef….we found all the steaks to be delicious. Yes, they are leaner cuts than maybe you were used to but they still taste great.

    Bring good hiking shoes the long walks are over lava rocks and can be rough but still doable by all.

    The shoreline snorkeling wasn’t the easiest cause you had to fight the waves which than churns up the sand reducing visibility. 
    However, do not and I mean do not miss the advanced dives. I felt advanced meant you can kick with fins on. 
    Shoreline snorkeling means wear your swimsuit under your hiking clothes and than changing into your wetsuits on the beach.

    Enjoy

  3. It’s an antigen test and no it isn’t deep but it still makes my eyes water. The walk to the Darwin center is about 12 mins on a paved side walk. I think they offered a cart ride back from the center at the end of the tour. I have to say that this is an easy walk compared to most of the hikes on the islands.

  4. We just returned from the Galapagos. We did both the inner and outer loops. The outer loop by far has more animals. The outer sees the Albatrosses and iguanas, sea lions galore, the inner sees red footed boobies and more penguins. I my opinion the outer was better but seeing both loops was outstanding.
